Poem Title:
Poem
This is as content As I have ever been I want for nothing but I am concerned about everything life in this system is tenuous I can have abundance today and tomorrow be forsaken and forgotten I have been homeless not by my choice but that of others whose care for me was so remote even the daily necessities were of little concern regarding the state of my being I survived that all father husband mother forebears I knew so little about care love duty compassion understanding loyalty It has taken one lifetime to ultimately realize how expletively little I was taught I have examined the “finest example” that has walked among “MEN” and found myself “wanting” to be like him to love his nature ,,to copy his person the most excellent character Whose rightness could not be argued whose reason could not be contended whose compassion could not be matched and whose understanding was beyond what we could know I have loved him since the day of our introduction I have studied his words and his activity and I have found “no one” who is the like of him I have met and studied so many beautiful minds yet none of them are his none can match the sheer perfection of your thoughts or reach the energy of your activity the more I look at you I am in awe of the grace fully reflected in a life so precious that I cannot but proclaim the depth of your exceeding excellence like a bonfire set on a hill none can avoid seeing your light or be drawn unto it’s warmth and the comfort of those who gather together to embrace all your radiance all rights reserved Dec 2016 Poetry of Providence C Michael Miller
